| Summary: | This note, based on the World
Bank's Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI)
project database, reviews trends in infrastructure projects
with private participation in low-income countries. Four
main conclusions arise. Surprisingly, the proportion of
countries with at least one project - eighty one percent -
is higher among low-income, than middle-income countries. As
in middle-income countries, most investment has been in
telecommunications, or energy projects. However, in
low-income countries, well over half the projects are
greenfield. And the scale of private participation in
low-income countries, lags far behind that in middle-income countries. |
